Introduction

I love helping people go through their clutter and organizing their spaces so that they work for them! I ask questions to get my clients to make decisions that are best for them, and I never force anyone to get rid of anything they don't want to. And I make no judgements on the state of your space, my goal is to be a safe place and a helping hand. I only work WITH clients and not FOR clients to make sure they can maintain the systems we create together. My goal isn't to make things pretty, but to make them functional. I would love to help you do this!

Amelia's help with organizing and cleaning spaces in my home was more than just doing something for me. She partnered with me to think through how to make the space work best for me and my needs, helped me get past my avoidance of the space and task, and left me with something I can actually maintain. She won't just declutter for you, she'll set you up for long-term success.

Amelia and I worked on decluttering my office. She was very helpful in helping me to break down what felt very overwhelming. Her approach was practical and the solutions or ideas for solutions offered were functional. Now that my office is free of clutter, I feel more motivated and creative. I am using the same guiding principles in working through other spaces in my home. If you are having trouble getting started, feel like the task of organizing is overwhelming, don't know where to start or all of the above (like me) then I highly encourage you to book a session!

After the first two years of the pandemic, I found the walls of my house slowly closing in around me. After two years of fear, sadness, and lack of motivation, I found my home exploding with piles of stuff. Just stuff everywhere. I was scared to tell anyone about it. I was embarrassed. But I also knew I couldn't dig myself out of it alone. That's when Amelia came in. When I finally had the courage to accept help, Amelia was there. She helped declutter my home in an efficient but gentle way. She worked with me through the stuff. One item at a time. She didn't just come in and tell me to get rid of everything. She helped me make tough decisions. She made sure I knew the decisions were mine to make. She made me feel safe and didn't judge how bad it had gotten. Once those decisions were made, we figured out what we could donate. Then we made sure the things I was keeping found a place. She helped set me up with organizational systems that made sense and would be easy to maintain. When everything felt impossible, Amelia helped dig me out. She set me up for success with maintaining organization that made sense for me. I couldn't have done it without her!

This is the first time I ever worked with a coach to help me declutter. Amelia made me feel safe to work through all of the unexpected emotional stuff that came up while tackling this task. She also has many ideas and resources, and takes the time to make sure the organization system created is customized and feels good to each individual. I felt heard, supported, and accomplished upon completion of the project! I would highly recommend working with Amelia!!

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to schedule a (free) 20-30 minute video consultation to see the space(s), discuss the needs of the customer, and answer any questions. If it seems like a good fit we then discuss logistics, estimates, payment, and scheduling. I do decluttering and organizing in person or virtually depending on preferences and distance.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have made a career out of office management, which requires organized spaces and time. I have always have a multitude of responsibilities and must switch between them quickly, so I have to be organized. I also am a certified life coach, so I have 1.5 years of training on helping people meet their goals, discover their desires, and make change in their lives. I use this to help my customers make the hard decisions and uncover the roots of their clutter and disorganization to get them to making lasting changes in their spaces.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have enjoyed organizing and sorting things since I was a small child. Over the years I have become the go to person among friends and classmates/colleagues to help them declutter and organize their closets, offices, and homes because I take a very hands on approach and ask good questions to get them to make hard decisions and create systems that work for them. They've told me for years that I should do this for a living so here I am!
